MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia coach Michael Cheika has dangled the carrot of a more senior role for Kurtley Beale in the Wallabies set-up if the playmaker is prepared to come home early from England.

The 28-year-old Beale started a lucrative two-year deal with Premiership club Wasps last year but has the option to return to Australia and is yet to decide on his playing future.
